2010 is set to be a huge year for Xbox 360 owners. Between full retail releases, Xbox Live Arcade games, and Natal software, theres going to be exclusive titles of all types to choose from.
We know of most of the AAA heavy hitters so I wont mention those. The point of this thread is to highlight a couple of 360 exclusive titles that are overlooked. Promising titles that just arent getting as much buzz as the bigger exclusives.
These four games are all console exclusive to the Xbox 360.
N3: Ninety-Nine Nights II
Konami has announced it will be publishing N3II: Ninety-Nine Nights for the Xbox 360 this spring in North America. The title was originally revealed at the Tokyo Game Show in 2008, but was never announced for a worldwide release.

Dead Rising: Case Zero
Dead Rising: Case Zero is a downloadable chapter of the Dead Rising saga designed as a playable prologue for Dead Rising 2 that bridges the story between the first and second games.

Metro 2033
The year is 2033. An entire generation has been born and raised underground, and their besieged Metro Station-Cities struggle for survival, with each other, and the mutant horrors that await outside.
You are Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but raised Underground. Having never ventured beyond your Metro Station-City limits, one fateful event sparks a desperate mission to the heart of the Metro system, to warn the remnants of mankind of a terrible impending threat. Your journey takes you from the forgotten catacombs beneath the subway to the desolate wastelands above, where your actions will determine the fate of mankind.

Monster Hunter Frontier
The big game announcement from the event, as far as Japan is concerned at least, was an Xbox 360 version of Monster Hunter Frontier Online. The PC massively multiplayer online entry in the Monster Hunter series is due for 360 release this Summer.
It's a bit odd that Capcom's regional offices did not mention the game for release outside of Japan. We're going to assume that they're just waiting to get the timing right. It would be a bit surprising for Capcom to bring the series to the 360 just for Japan, where the system sells only a few thousand units every week. We fully expect to hear about an international release at some point.

So thats them but thats not it. Remember a couple of weeks ago, a Famitsu editor let slip that a new company was developing an Xbox 360 title. Also, Sakaguchi's team is supposed to be working on another 360 exclusive that he should unveil this Spring.
Of course as the year goes on there will be more announcement but so far, things are looking promising for 360 owners this year.
